Julia, I really like that succulent with the white on the edges . . . do you know what it's called?

J, I love the Lachenalias, I have some yellow and red ones I've had for years. They have been reliable bloomers for me. I keep the r & y ones in a half wine barrel with a small palm tree.

It's a saxifraga zimmeteri' white

Julia thanks for the name on that beauty

My Snowball bushes and Clematis are blooming. This is one of my favorite combinations. I look forward to seeing them every year.

Oooo, I like!

A couple pictures. We'll start with my Haworthia truncata var. maughanii



Here is the Crassula pellucida subsp. marginalis 'Variegata'

Looking good! The Iris are really putting on a show in Texas!

Liz, I had a Crassula similar to that one and liked it very much...then I let it get too wet.


They are, Julia. Been a weird bloom season and I think I will--unusually for this yard--have both Iris and Daylilies blooming at the same time. Generally, the Iris are finished before the Daylilies start up. Going to be fun!

Oh than will be a fun mix!

Spider plant blossom


Spring Cactus


Rescued Miniature Rose

The Iris are all so lovely. Mine are just starting. The large two-tone purple all came up first, now the next flush is going and I look forward to seeing the different colors. I have a gorgeous pure white one, can't beat the classics!

I haven't been on this site much since fall. Now garden is waking up and my thoughts turn to gardening again. Very proud of first ever bloom on coral honeysuckle I grew from seed.

Our own seed grown plants are always the best plants
